Psalms 56

1 “For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante sou lè chante ki di: Pijon ki sou pye terebent byen lwen yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè moun Filisti yo te mete men sou li nan lavil Gat. Bondye papa mwen! Gen pitye pou mwen, paske mwen gen anpil moun k'ap pousib mwen. Tout lajounen y'ap fè m' lagè, y'ap toumante mwen.

2 Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.

Tout lajounen lènmi m' yo ap pousib mwen. Se pa ti anpil yo anpil, moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.

3 When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!

Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, lè mwen pè, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.

4 Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?

Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye. M'ap fè lwanj pawòl li. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè m'?

5 Every day they wrest my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.

Tout lajounen y'ap manke m' dega. Se yon sèl lide yo gen nan tèt yo: se fè mwen mal!

6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.

Yo mete tèt yo ansanm, yo kache kò yo, y'ap veye tout vire tounen mwen. Y'ap tann okazyon konsa pou yo touye m'.

7 Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!

Pa gen sove pou yo, paske yo fè twòp. Lè ou an kòlè, Bondye, fè pèp yo vin ba devan ou.

8 Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?

Ou konnen tout kouri kache mwen yo. Ou konnen jan dlo koule nan je m'. Eske tout sa pa ekri nan liv ou a?

9 When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.

Se poutèt sa lènmi m' yo gen pou kouri ale lè m' rele ou. Mwen konnen Bondye pou mwen.

10 Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.

M'ap fè lwanj pawòl Bondye. Wi, m'ap fè lwanj pawòl Seyè a.

11 In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?

Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye, mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa lèzòm ka fè mwen?

12 Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!

O Bondye, m'ap ofri ou sa mwen te pwomèt ou yo, m'ap ofri bèt pou yo touye pou ou pou m' di ou mèsi.

13 For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Paske ou pa kite m' mouri, ou pa kite m' bite, pou m' kapab mache devan ou nan mitan bèl limyè k'ap klere moun k'ap viv pou ou yo.
